LOST BAGGAGE RETRIEVAL AT THE CANCUN AIRPORT
This is how I retrieved a piece of baggage that I had forgotten on the carousel when I flew into Cancun International Airport. I flew in on Southwest Airlines, but in general this information applies to other airlines as well.
As soon as you discover that you have forgotten a bag at the airport, call the English-speaking service number for Southwest Airline's Cancun office. They will confirm to you that your bag has been retained at the Southwest office. If the Southwest Airline had actually lost your bag, they would be willing to deliver your bag to your hotel, but in my case I had forgotten the bag on the carousel, so therefore it was my responsibility to get to the airport and retrieve the bag.
The concierge service at my hotel tried to make arrangements to pick up my bag, but the concierge was told by the airline that I needed to retrieve the bag in person. I really must praise the staff at my hotel, the Excellence Riviera Cancun. ERC is a first-class place in every respect.
Taking a taxi from your hotel to the airport is cheaper than other options, but a taxi will not wait for you at the airport. Therefore, it is best to arrange with one of the transport services such as Seasons.
The IDs you will need to present at various times during this adventure are:
your passport
your ticket for the transport service
your baggage claim ticket.
Also, if possible, arrange to have a Spanish-speaking person go with you. Keep in mind, however, that the Spanish-speaking person will also need to bring ID.
The website for Southwest Airlines says that to retrieve a bag you will need to go to the Arrival area at the airport. Also, the baggage office at the Cancun airport for English-speaking persons says that you need to go to the Arrival area to retrieve a bag. HOWEVER, the transport service driver will tell you that, by law, they need to drop you at the Departure area and pick you up at the Arrivals area. Also, the transport service is not allowed to wait for you outside the Departure area.
As of October 2023, the Terminal that Southwest Airlines uses at Cancun is Terminal Four.
The transport service driver will drop you outside the Departure area of Terminal Four.
Before you leave the transport service vehicle, get the phone number of the driver. Actually call that number and be sure it rings the driver's phone.
Now, walk into the Departure area for Terminal Four, which is a vast room in a very large building. Look at the RIGHT wall as you walk in, and you will see a sign that says 'Airline Offices'. The sign points to a up staircase that will lead you to the offices of Southwest Airlines. Many other airlines have offices in that direction also.
DON'T take the up escalators on the left wall as you walk in: these lead to the Departure gates and that is NOT where you want to go.
So, to repeat: Walk into the Departure area of Terminal Four, on your RIGHT you will see a sign and an up staircase, take the staircase up one flight and walk through a long hallway to the Southwest Airlines office.
You need to be there just after 9AM in the morning. Overall, the best time to negotiate business at the Cancun airport is before noon, because most of the day's flights arrive around 2PM and the terminal becomes a chaotic scene. On the other hand, you don't want to be stuck in early morning traffic on the highways around Cancun. So, the best time to arrive at the Departure area of Terminal Four is just after 9AM.
Once you are at the Southwest Airlines office, they will ask to see your baggage claim ticket and your passport. You will be asked to sign a form saying that you have retrieved your bag on such and such a specific day. At this point, they will give your bag and give you back your passport.
Before you leave the Southwest Airlines office, and before you sign the form, open your bag and check the contents. If anything is missing, this is the moment to discuss the problem with the Southwest Airlines officials. My experience was that the Southwest Airlines officials were honest, serious, and professional.
Now, you need to get from the Departure area to the Arrival area. Go back down the stairs to the entrance door of Terminal Four. Walk outside. Turn left. You will need to walk about 200 feet and you will come to a gate that is guarded by numerous soldiers. This is the gate to an outdoor covered walkway that leads to the Arrival area. At this point, you will be asked to show your passport and your transportation service ticket. You will need to explain to the soldiers what your situation is, and that you are trying to go from the Departure area to the Arrival area. It would be best to have a Spanish-speaking person with you.
Hopefully, you will be allowed to go through this heavily guarded outdoor covered walkway, which will lead you to the Arrival area, which is a vast outdoor plaza. This is the Arrival area for Terminal Four.
Upon reaching the Arrival area, call your transport service driver and the transport service driver will come to pick you up and take you back to your hotel.
Next time I fly into Cancun (and there will be a next time), I won't forget one of my bags on the carousel.
